Hey, I have the same exact setup!
After a lot of trial and error, I found this to work best with the 64 bit build. Anyways, if you have all the repositories enabled (universe, multiverse)... search synaptic for dvb, you'll find the drivers and won't need to do this. But as for your problems with building, you may need the kernel headers and restricted modules.

Well... I couldn't find the drivers in synaptic, but your tip on the kernel headers did the trick. After installing the headers I was able to compile the drivers and the card is now recognized. THANK YOU!

Next task is getting the sound to work. I've read that I need to include "noapic" in grub. We'll see.

Are you using the optional spdif motherboard connector???
You don't want to turn off apic. Due to a bios problem, you need to pass a nolapic boot option to boot into any 64bit cd for this motherboard but after that you are fine.
Sound should work without anything fancy. If you are having trouble with the analogue sound... ubuntu might be trying to play out of the pchdtv (conexant) card instead of the onboard nvidia. I know mine flip flops between /dev/dsp and /dev/dsp1 between reboots. I haven't fixed it yet since it was such a hassle getting this card going to begin with. But a motherboard, dual core processor later I finally have it going.
